IndependentFoundational Review

We will provide unique, rapid and robust insight that will enable significant improvements in business performance.

The IFR will establish a full and deep understanding of an organisation's strategy, plans, goals and issues. This will provide the context within which your change is being managed.

The IFR will then provide a rigorous, unique and independent analysis of the leadership, the people practices and the culture, with a specific focus on this strategic context, rather than an assessment against external ‘HR best practice’. This insight is gained via one to one conversations with a statistically significant and diverse group of employees, from customer facing through to the leaders, with the critical support of bespoke technology and process.

Foundation Stones will report this unique insight via an Executive Summary, along with the recommended solutions in the form of an action plan or people strategy. It will provide ‘inside-out solutions’ that will ensure improvements are sustainable, providing fixes that are authentic, permanent and deep rooted. Finally as an IFR looks into all the primary behavioural drivers, that are the potential root cause of material people issues, there will be a comprehensive report covering leadership, core people practices and underlying culture.
